Surgical operations during pregnancy

During pregnancy, situations requiring urgent surgical intervention may arise. These interventions are performed only in emergencies, when there is an immediate danger to the life of the woman or the fetus. As a general rule, operations are performed via laparoscopy, which involves small incisions in the abdominal wall under video control. This helps minimize tissue damage and reduce the risk of complications.

In what cases is a gynecological operation possible?

Gynecological operations during pregnancy are quite rare and are only performed in severe cases. For example, in the presence of benign ovarian cysts that reach significant size and may lead to torsion or rupture of the uterus. Multiple or large fibroid nodules should also be surgically treated, especially if they are located in an atypical place, such as in the cervix, in the uterine isthmus, or within the ligamentous apparatus. These formations can disrupt the functioning of the abdominal organs and pose a threat to the pregnancy.

Other types of surgical interventions

The most common operations for pregnant women are those related to general surgery and trauma. Thus, one of the most common indications is acute appendicitis. Cases of acute appendicitis and intestinal obstruction requiring immediate surgical intervention are also possible. Each of these situations requires an individual approach and teamwork between obstetricians and surgeons.

Dental care during pregnancy

Emergency dental care can be provided at any time. These interventions are performed under local anesthesia, making the procedure safe for both the woman and the child. As for planned care, it is best to carry it out after the 16th week of pregnancy, a period when the placenta is already formed and capable of providing reliable protection for the fetus.

You can consult a gynecologist-obstetrician, have an ultrasound, or benefit from a pregnancy monitoring program at the Natuvitro clinic.
